  1. POSwitch between two JQuery Datatables
    text
    copied!<p>I have two JQuery datatables (datatables.net), one with messages and the second one with contacts. I would like to load them without refreshing the page, i.e. if I click link1 I get messages displayed, if I click link2 I get messages table disapear and contacts displayed. I can get it by placing tables in different divs and use .show and .hide on those. But what if I have 20 different tables I need to display with just one at a moment. It would be probably a lot of memory usage at the client side to load all 20 tables and hide those. I'm kind of stuck and overflowed).</p> <p>I have tried the following:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a href='#' onclick='test_widget();return false;' &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function test_widget() { $.ajax({ type:'POST', url:'contacts.php', data:$('#test_widget').serialize(), success:function(data) { $('#test_widget').html(data); }, error:function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) { $("#test_widget").html(errorThrown + ': ' + this.url); }, dataType:'html' }); } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;div id='test_widget'&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>And then the contacts.php:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table class="table table-bordered table-striped checked-in has-checkbox" id="dtable"&gt; &lt;thead&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;Last Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;First Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Middle Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Email&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Phone&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt; &lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/thead&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;? $res=mysql_query('SELECT * FROM people ORDER BY lname LIMIT 1000'); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($res)){ ?&gt; &lt;tr class="gradeA"&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;?=$row['lname']?&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;?=$row['fname']?&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;?=$row['patronymic']?&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="center"&gt;&lt;?=$row['email']?&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="center"&gt;&lt;?=$row['phones']?&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="checkbox"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;? } ?&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre>
